GM Truck Electronic Throttle Body (ETB) Relearn Procedure

Poor idle after a GM Throttle Body replacement install? We show you how to perform the PCM relearn procedure so your vehicle runs normally.
Instructions:
1) Start and idle the engine in park for 3 mins (0:54)
2) Turn ignition off for 60 sec (1:05)
3) Start and idle the engine in park for 3 mins again. At this point, the engine should be idling normally. (1:08)
NOTE: Check engine light may illuminate indicating idle speed diagnostic trouble.
If idle speed has not been relearned, it may be necessary to drive the vehicle at speeds above 44 MPH.
After the drive cycle, engine should idle correctly; if not:
4) Turn the ignition off for 60 sec and repeat Step 3 (1:43)

Just so u know. I want over 10 other vids about my vehicle that wasnt a gm. An infact not one spoke like u did. So thank u. I appreciated the video

[@jaypruiett2026]

Excellent video. Thanks for the great info. My 2003 Escalade, 6.0l Vortec with electronic throttle control was idling too high after I cleaned the throttle body and I didn't know how to fix it until after you described "idle re-learn". The two 3-minute idle cycles with a 1-minute cycle in-between worked like a champ.

Thank YOU!!! After multiple videos and dozens of threads, this finally did it for my 08 patriot after throttle body replacement !!!

[@xoticyt1846]

I was told id have to bring my cobalt into the shop at only 75300k to do all sorts of relearns when the car can manage it itself with a little bit of patience thank you for saving me the hassle and money

[@goldstarinspections7284]

It worked. I performed the steps multiple times with no success. Started up the truck the next morning after a 30 min drive the night before and it seemed to be ok. Drove it that evening and the problem came back. The next morning it seemed to be fine so I performed the learning procedure with a stopwatch starting and shutting off the truck right on time. (2 times) then drove it problem fixed. Hope this helps.

[@cargodchiva1628]

Did it ever come back up after the last time doing it ?

[@topmonkey6512]

The ECU computer has a self-learning function, but this process is slow and laborious. Throttle learning with software would be appropriate.

[@silverado-vt1fp]

Hello everyone. 178,000 miles on my 08 2500HD with LY6 6.0L gas. SES light came on YEARS ago. O'Reilly code reader showed Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) code. Always ran perfectly with no loss of power or fuel mileage. Finally got around to work on it. My Chevy dealership sold me a new TPS (Part # 19259452). $33.18. It does not include the entire TB. Only the plastic part that is clipped on. Came with 6 new clips too. I removed the TPS, cleaned the TB while TPS was off so as not to damage electronics, clipped on new TPS and fired 'er up. Had the common 2000 rpm idle. Performed the idle speed relearn several times as described in this video. Did not solve high idle issue. Thanks to Cory Hayden's comment about his PCV valve not being plugged in, I decided to recheck my work. Yep...forgot to reattach PCV. Cleared codes again by disconnecting battery for a couple mins and performed relearn procedure once more. Lo and behold...it solved all issues!!! Be sure sure to check for any vaccuum leaks (i.e. PCV valve) after reassembly. Hope this helps.

The Harbor Freight Zurich ZR15 Code Reader for $300 will do Idle Relearn, it's bi-directional, so only this one, not the cheaper models. That will save you from spending the big money on a high end scan tool if you're not in that market. The process in this video didn't work. I tried it many many times, tried suggestions in the comments, tried it with the heater on, disconnecting the battery, clearing codes, while patting my head and rubbing my stomach. You have to do the idle relearn. I replaced the throttle body on a 2008 Silverado and the rpms stayed rock solid at 3000 rpms... Ran the idle relearn with this code reader tool and it was an isntant fix

I finally found the way to fix that storbon idle problem. Mine was so bad that I actually prematurely wore out my brake pads! I used a combination of several methods, (or trouble shooting techniques). PLEASE PAY ATTENTION and follow my instructions down to the letter / second. First I disconnected the battery, I then removed the throttle body and replaced the air filter. I thoroughly cleaned and reinstalled the throttle body. and then hooked the battery back up. I then performed the following "Reprogramming procedure" : #1 I started it up and let it Idle for exactly 3 min. #2 I shut it off for exactly one min, #3 I started it up and idled it for 3 min. I then took it on the highway, I set the "Cruise control" at 70. I used the "Cruise control accelerate switch" (on the blinker arm) to throttle up past 75, I then disengaged the " Cruse Control" and allowed the vehicle to decelerated down to 60, I then repeated that tree times. I drove it home and shut it off for 15 min. When I restarted it I let it idle till it got to its running temp and it has been perfect ever since. " THANK GOD!. I actually wore out my brakes

Hey man im 5 years late to this comment but what does removing the battery do exactly?

[@user-kf8ry8qr9h]

​@@fredycate2329 it resets all the codes, if you don't disconnect the battery your old codes are in your ECM. You would need to set back to square one by disconnecting your battery so your new throttle body learns the new codes

Then, I left the car without battery connection for 24 hours. Then connect the battery gain and start the car and left it running for 3 minutes. The RPM increased to 2K RPM and then decreases.

[@billalderton3963]

I have a 2009 Envoy. The car was going into limp mode with a code P2135. (rough idle, stalling, ..... 2 times same day). Replaced the throttle body with a new Bosch unit for the 2009 Envoy. The old TB was fairly well carboned. I performed the relearn, it is idling at 700-800 after about 5 seconds after starting. However, when you start to press the accelerator, the car leaches because the engine jumps to 1200 RPM. You just have to barely move the pedal for this to occur. If you are moving and stop, wait 5 seconds, the idle will return to 700-800. If you are in park and you place the car in drive, sometimes the car will increase to 1200 rpm as noted above. I did not have this issue with the old Throttle body. I have driven the car 50 miles with speeds of 50 mph with many stop and go, I am not seeing any improvements. Any ideas? I can't find anything on the internet describing this issue I am experiencing when replacing the throttle body.

Anyone know how if this procedure is applicable to a 99 Sierra 1500 5.3 LS LM7 when replacing the IAC? It has an IAC and TPS but has the cable driven accelerator linkage. Also. The after market IAC ranges from less than $10 to $134 for the AC Delco OEM. And $50 - $134 for AC Delco. I have a new ACDelco IAC in hand ready to change out the cheap aftermarket.. This whole thing came up when trying to solve the very common and dangerous sticking throttle. Mine started this at 245K but others with these throttles experienced it on many - even relatively new engines. Of course as usual GM did not recall. After decarboning the throttle body I determined that the stick was not in the excelerator cable or butterfly so the only remaining thing was to replace the 2 sensors on the TB. After this the stick was gone but an irregular idle showed up / and it raced at startup. The GMC dealership simply told me I had to replace the throttle body ($500!) which I knew was not the case as the excelerator sticking was gone upon replacing the IAC and TPS. I didnt have the racing idle until AFTER they messed with it CHARGING ME $100! 🤬

Cleaned TB on a 2008 Pontiac G6. Hooked everything back up, started car, Idles at 3500 Rpm. Did the relearn procedure, did not work. Idles in park at 3500 RPM. Did that for 3 minutes. Turn off 60 seconds. Let run 3 min again. Even drove it. Car accels on it own. What could be the issue? I even put a new TB on. Same issue? How can I wipe out ECM memory of the old idle settings?

[@ltr310]

What was the fix to this? ECU flash?

[@malikalawadh5335]

Problem solved, i replaced my throttle body started rev at 3000rpm i have tried so many things it did not work finally i took it to a guy with dealer level scan tool he did reprogram my new throttle, so it can be accepted to the truck with electronic setting it runs so good now just sharing my story

[@CardoneIndustries]

Glad to hear it!

[@thomasreto2997]

Thank you..it is

[@greywhiteman1944]

Thanks! 🙏

[@lionssfan]

FYI....also be careful not to get carb cleaner into the electronic portion of the throttle body. make sure to tilt the throttle body in such away that the cleaner can't run down the butterfly shaft and into the electronic portion. there's a circuit board inside. and you don't want the cleaner to get on the cir. board.

[@rtlf0e630]

Will it damage the throttle body if so? My Tahoe now in neutral idles up and down rapidly and n park stays past 1500 rpm’s then drops to normal a few seconds later

[@Mr_Those_Nice]

I am replacing a throttle body in 2008 cts automatic. Can i do the relearn myself on this vehicle or do I need to take it to the dealership. I would like to know before i do the work my self being that I bought the part and gasket. please help thanks alot

[@eagletrail1]

Would this work on my 2006 Chevy HHR that's been getting a P2176?

[@dennisonchieku2483]

My Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin has the same problem. It starts well in the morning but after stalls after a few minutes and from there develop a hard start. Can this procedure fix hard start as well?

[@suchprofessor5636]

would this work for a 2010 traverse lt 3.6? I'm getting the dreaded p0221 code. just got the throttle body today and was going to replace tomorrow

[@drpc98014]

How late is "late"? on my 2000 jimmy, I cleaned the tb and now idle is off and the engine sometimes will stumble briefly when trying to maintain a constant speed. the workaround I've found is you need to remove foot from gas pedal and reapply, maybe repeat

[@douglaslewis9847]

After I clean the throttle body on my 2007 Chevy Tahoe it was idling at 3200 RPMs . couldn't get it to go down . Finally I turned on the AC on high and it pulled the RPMs down enough to be able to drive it

[@twistedtuned4273]

is there a relearn procure for electronic throttle body on a 5.3l 2004 yukon XL?

[@royrdz3787]

i just clean it in 2011 silverado n it still accelerated did it twice . what should i do next

[@miguelquintero2848]

many people have told me that i will need to re-code the throttle body and that can only be done at the dealer or a mechanic shop capable of doing that. Is this true or will I be ale to do as you say in the video? anyone have any input?

[@bojanjokanovic2704]

How much is open on idle? I have golf 5 2.0fsi and 11% open thr. Body, is that ok?

[@83bowtiegirl]

I have reduced engine power. After many different codes and went to dealer's to scan as well. I replaced throttle body, gas pedal, all ignition-coils, spark plugs and lastly the computer. Still have reduced power if I go over 50mph. Rough idle, flashing engine code, etc.... I then shut off for a couple minutes and it starts over???

What a Legend

[@thomaseverley3847]

Just received a Cardone remanufactured throttle body for my gm. You can see it was sandblasted, which isn't a problem. However when shaking it and moving the throttle blade, there was clearly sand coming out, and you could feel and hear sand grinding in the shaft. Maybe clean these out better before shipping?

[@CardoneIndustries]

What if your car doesn't idle for three minutes? can you rev it to keep the engine running.

[@andypac7]

HI, i had a 2nd hand throttle body fitted a week or so ago and when I now start the car it jumps into a mode where I can't accelerate and the gearbox is stuck in a really slow mode. Any ideas what may be the problem? As a footnote, if I kick down (before this problem), the car would go into a very slow mode and I couldn't get any acceleration until I restarted the car. Trailblazer 2005, by the way. Any advice appreciated. Also, when I removed the throttle body, it rattles. IS this normal? Cheers.

[@andypac7]

Hi, [e-mail]. I'm not sure if it is the throttle body, but it was the item I changed and since then I've had problems. Could you check the symptoms and let me know if that's consistent with throttle body issues? Thanks.

[@zode-uc6rr]

I have a 2009 gmc Sierra 1500 and I just clean the throttle body and now it's rpm r at 3000 and don't drop I try the videos but it's still not working what should I do?
